Clickers are electronic classroom response systems that allow students to provide rapid responses using in-class audience-polling technology. Clickers can be used for classroom management (i.e., taking attendance), stimulating class dialogue, and testing students' understanding of a topic. Join us to consider different clicker options and click here to learn more about clickers.

On the last Thursday of each month the CTL will host Tech Thursdays. These events will bring faculty together to pilot new educational technologies. The CTL staff will provide an overview of the featured technology and faculty will be encouraged to explore the tool, ask questions, and discuss how it may help facilitate their courses. The CTL staff is open to exploring various tools that generate faculty interest, suggestions welcome. To RSVP click here.
